Learning the ropes is really something special..
Nice thread

I claim to have known it almost all some ten years ago, but lack of practice and too much work blew some of it out of my head

Also, german and english definitions are sometimes a bit confusing (Bullen, Bulin etc.), also dutch with its Haanepooten..

The Corvette defnition imho is a ship with a straight-through deck without forecastle or quarterdeck, and regardless of rigging. But it could also be a Brigantine, since pirates used to saw off any fore or rear decks, for better accessability.
